RE: what are you looking for?
I am not sure where dmen was headed with this question but I would like to add another dimension to it b/c I too am interested in this question. So, can you guys post a topo map and show on the maps where the funnels, saddles, and all that other stuff for guys like me who have never used a topo and aren't real sure what they look like on the map.

RE: what are you looking for?
that is where I was going, i should of framed my question better, I understand the general purpose of a topo as far as elavation, water etc. What i am trying to learn is what terrain characteristics are you looking for, what does a finger or saddle, funnel look like ona topo?

LOTS of structures will/can produce funnels (including topo changes). A true topo only gives you topographical/slope/elevation details (I work with site/grading plans every day). If you can get the topo with an aerial overlay....it'll start to make more sense to you (as a hunter). As a builder.....it makes little difference to me to see the aerial.

I use the topo.

Oh man.. like a hundred different things.
Funnels of course.. saddles that create funnels.. benches.. a good ridgeline that extends over a great distance.. pay attention to creeks and river crossing where the slope of the shore lines will help determining deer movement.. saddles in open fields... points extending into swamp and marsh... WOW what a general question.
One more thing.. my BELOVED cubbies were down 9-1.. and now lead 10-9 after a DeRosa 2 run homer... Go Cubs..!!
